This guide shows you how to configure Ackee with systemd. We assume that your Ackee is located and installed in /opt/Ackee.

Make the index.js executable with chmod +x /opt/Ackee/src/index.js.

Create a file named ackee.service in /etc/systemd/system/.

[Unit]

ExecStart=/opt/Ackee/src/index.js
Restart=always
User=nobody
Group=nogroup
Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
Environment=NODE_ENV=production
WorkingDirectory=/opt/Ackee

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Start the service with systemctl start ackee.service and check if everything is up and running with systemctl status ackee.service.

Enable the service on boot with systemctl enable ackee.service.
